Chloe Madeley has revealed her baby girl’s name after welcoming her first child with husband James Haskell.

The fitness trainer announced the birth of their daughter on August 14, sharing that they are both ‘delighted’ with their new arrival.

Chloe – whose parents are TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – has now shared that the little one was born on August 10 at 8:36am, alongside the first pictures of the adorable newborn.

She shared that their daughter has quite the unique name – Bodhi Rae Georgia Haskell.

A love that escapes all words, and the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Writing on Instagram, she shared her appreciation for her partner: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart @jameshaskell for going on this adventure with me. I’ve never been happier. I love you 🤍’.

The first pictures of Bodhi show her wrapped in a sweet animal print blanket, looking bewildered by the big world around her as she lays in her mother’s lap.

Chloe’s famous pals rushed to congratulate the new parents, with hearts melting over the sweet pics.

Frankie Bridge wrote: ‘Oh my god. She’s too cute. Congrats! 😍’, while Lottie Tomlinson – who also welcomed her first child a matter of days ago – gushed: ‘Beautiful baby girl 💕’.

Bodhi arrived a little later than planned, as her due date was set as August 7.

Chloe – who was ‘utterly besotted and beaming with pride’ after the birth – has shared, however, that her labour didn’t go as smoothly as she would’ve liked.

Sharing her gratitude, she praised the ‘compassionate, skilled, knowledgeable and experienced women’ whom she was surrounded by ‘from start to finish’.

‘Here is my deepest, most heartfelt thank you to all the midwives out there who pull long shifts, have to make difficult decisions under pressure, have seen a hell of a lot of good and bad, and exercise compassion and reassurance every single day for those under their care’, she penned on social media.

‘Also to the obstetricians who are exactly where they need to be, exactly when they need to be there, and who manage to see the whole thing through with what seems to be complete ease.’

Meanwhile, 37-year-old hubby James recalled the emotional moment he learned they were expecting a girl, telling OK! Magazine: ‘That’s when I welled up and nearly cried. It was pretty exciting. I actually wanted a little girl – I’ve been around enough men my entire life.’

Prior to revealing their baby girl’s name, Chloe, 35, teased: ‘James has a favourite, I have a favourite and my mum has a favourite – they’re all different.’

However, James playfully chimed in: ‘We’re not entertaining your mum’s names.’
